It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic She says further: "Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.

MISSION OF THE

SHOULD BE UNIVERSITY OF RE.
LrUIOUS LEARNING.
Duty of Christianity to Evangelize the
World.
By Rev. J no. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor St John M. E. Church. South,
St Louis. Mo.
Some years ago, the question was
asked: What Is a college? The at
tempt to answer it shook the educa
tional world in America from center
to circumference. Another question i3
now beginning to be asked: What is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask, in
this Initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed.
First, that of evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man in tiie least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
a divine power, which lifts him ont
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship
This alone were an immense priv-'
ilege.
Teaching the Art of Living.
The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has,
come to mean a specific thing in our
country, namely, the training of the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art of living. I am not now speaking
of ttie work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at our doors, In the con
gregation. Every agency in reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made a gjrt of
university for all the people, in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase of the church's work re
ceived anything like adequate atten
tion. The New Testament word for
it is Edification.
School of Religion Needed.
Of course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities ef the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to.be so
named. It should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it to be
an all-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development of
things spIritaaL
The third task to- which the church
is committed is that of Christianizing
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit of Jesus into every nook and
coraer of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.
NeJgfcberly Love Eieential.
It religion pervades and oelors the
whole life thea ours to serKxu twpt-
ness, tor it will let no corner or me
world escape its influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity Is not a
thing to be practiced in a corner the
better for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? Of the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results of scientific research? Of
the twentieth, What can it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love of
God, whom we cannot see, but 'love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
In constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, if he
Is a genuine follower of the Christ!
It is the mission of the church the
rural as well as the city to evange
lize the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.
It is an admitted economic fact that
there can be no permanent prosperity
without a permanent agriculture.
THE NATION'S DINNER TABLE
When the dinner bell of thl3 nation
rings there have been slaughtered for
the repast 13,000 beeves, 21,000 hogs,
4,600 sheep, 2,000 hundredweight of
poultry and other meats, and there
have been 700,000-' bushels of cereals
and 540.000.000 pounds of vegetables
prepared for the feast. Multiply tEese
quantities by one thousand, repre
senting approximately the number of
meals per annum, and we have the
annual contents of the nation's larden
But with all our Immense qua'ntlty,
superb quality and wide range of pro
ducts, the American housewife, like
the wife of King Nebuchadnezzar,
longs for variety and she goes market
ing in foreign lands. She buys abroad
?200,000,000 per annum of farm pro
ducts that can and should be produced
in the United States.
FREE PORTS
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO
PRIATIONS. By Peter Radford
This nation is now entering upom
an era of marine development. The
wreckage ot European commerce haa
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the ocean's
highways.
This article will be confined to- a
discussion of our ports for the pro
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation J1 ports, of which
41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are oil
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000,
000 for Improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise leviea
a toll of approximately $50,000,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this na
tion and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
tree of any fee or charge.
A free port 1s progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link In the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement Is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef
fectively secured.
Rained Pitchforks.
"Did you ever see it rain pitchforks
here?" asked the city man in the conn
try. "Sure," 'replied the farmer. "My
neighbors gavewme a pitchfork show
er' whea I was married." Yoakers
